Such a perfect day reading Patti Smith's memoir in an almost desert beach w/ crystal clear warm waters, fish swimming around us, loads of silence and meaningful conversations, fabulous ice-cream. Yeah, today there was indeed (my kind of) a total eclipse (of the 🩵). #selfcare #Algarve #breathing

Gorgeous day at the seaside 🏖️ Once a week, every week, I take 24 hours off. No deadlines, no meetings, no obligations. It's called self-care. It's also a form of resistance against neoliberal pressures. Coz love will save the day (including dog love, self-love and the love of your life 😍)
